  Speaker 9: as we investigate the debris field, and then really most importantly,
• 0:55
  Speaker 9: want to find out how it's impacting you where you are.
• 0:58
  Speaker 9: Multitude of ways to do it. And believe me, I've
• 1:01
  Speaker 9: got a wake up call yesterday morning as to the
• 1:03
  Speaker 9: cacophony of somebody's morning, especially if that alarm doesn't go off.
• 1:08
  Speaker 9: I'm still trying to investigate forensically what happened yesterday morning,
• 1:12
  Speaker 9: Why we woke up a scant, why the host woke

  Speaker 9: which tells me my phone was off for a period
• 1:36
  Speaker 9: of time right about the time I was supposed to

  Speaker 9: wake up. So I want to thank Motorola and T
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: Mobile for the software upgrade that I must have been
• 1:44
  Speaker 9: receiving at that moment, because nothing says good times in

  Speaker 9: great oldies more than an overnight software update and other
• 1:53
  Speaker 9: things that aren't nearly as dirty sounding as you intended
• 1:56
  Speaker 9: them to be. There as we get into this morning
• 2:00
  Speaker 9: where fear not a lot of the government offices haven't
• 2:05
  Speaker 9: reopened yet. If you're if you're ready to call the
• 2:07
  Speaker 9: IRS about something that you needed to deal with, but

  Speaker 9: lost their jobs or you know, getting back to work,

  Speaker 9: with new ways to sell communism to the American people.
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: Gosh darn it, how are you supposed to do that?

  Speaker 12: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 13: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackman, and it's always a boy. Growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 13: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 13: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food

  Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 13: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 13: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:44

• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: Most of the Good for America podcast. Former House Freedom
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: CONCAS chair Bob good sitting in with us on the
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: Newsmakers line. We were talking about the midterms, and they've
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: already kind of started out there. You know, you were
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: saying that they kind of need to lean into the
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: things that got them there in the majority in the
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: first place, right Bob.
• 13:53
  Speaker 18: And for that matter, why not go big and bold
• 13:55
  Speaker 18: and aggressive now while you have the power to try
• 13:57
  Speaker 18: to save the country and then in a clear choice
• 14:01
  Speaker 18: and Americans make that choice and live with that choice
• 14:04
  Speaker 18: instead of trying to be Democrat light, when voters will
• 14:06
  Speaker 18: choose the real thing and vote for Democrats next year.
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: We were talking with Scott Pyo, who's the chairman of
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: the Louden County Republicans, and he detailed something to me
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: that was very concerning. He pointed to how many consultants
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: political consultants are on the committee that runs the Republican
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: Party in Virginia, and that Virginia seems to be hell
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: bent on, you know, especially in the world of data
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: and digital marketing and that kind of thing, you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: giving big markups to the consultants, to the consultants way
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: too much on the Republican Party. I know. I had
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: a caller earlier saying Republicans need more brand loyalty. I said,
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: the Republicans need more brand and that seems like a
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: problem with consultant driven industries is that they're constantly chasing
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: last week's popularity instead of coming up with a brand
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: and sticking with it. Bob is are there? I guess
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: the question is do the consultants wield too much power
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: in the Republican Party Right now?
• 15:10
  Speaker 18: It would seem so I'm certainly not close to RPV.
• 15:13
  Speaker 18: I'm not close to Republican Party lease leadership. I'm certainly
• 15:16
  Speaker 18: not connected or on the inside in that respect.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I have a.
• 15:20
  Speaker 18: Strained relationship, if you will, if you want to say that,
• 15:23
  Speaker 18: with the Republican Party establishment on the state in the
• 15:25
  Speaker 18: federal level.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: That's part of why I'm not in Washington anymore.
• 15:29
  Speaker 18: But there are allegations certainly that that or accusations that
• 15:32
  Speaker 18: there are those who are profiting off of the party establishment,
• 15:36
  Speaker 18: if you will, the party machine, and it's certainly not
• 15:38
  Speaker 18: delivering results for the people of Virginia. I did see
• 15:41
  Speaker 18: what Scott Pile had released.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know Scott. I may have met him, but
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know him.
• 15:44
  Speaker 18: I did see what he did. I did browse what
• 15:47
  Speaker 18: he had released in the allegations that he made. Apparently
• 15:49
  Speaker 18: he wants to run for RPV chair. But certainly the
• 15:54
  Speaker 18: Republican Party is not delivering for the for the people
• 15:56
  Speaker 18: in Virginia.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Certainly there was. It was a devastating result.
• 16:00
  Speaker 18: Obviously in the elections last week, and so I think
• 16:03
  Speaker 18: there's valid reason for criticism.
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: Last question, being a financial guy, not a lawyer, but
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: a guy who understands Wall Street and all of that.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: The argument is the economy isn't getting better. President Trump
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: says the Thanksgiving dinner is less expensive if smaller, but
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: then the Time magazine says it's seven percent more expensive.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: Most of that apparently is in pre made Cranberry's My
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: wife has a recipe if you're interested in skipping that one.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: What is the reality? Gas is easily a dollar less
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: a gallon than it was a few months ago. So
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: is the economy getting better? Bomb from where you sent.
• 16:41
  Speaker 18: It is getting better, It's not getting better as fast
• 16:44
  Speaker 18: as all of us would like.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I believe it ultimately will get better.
• 16:48
  Speaker 18: I believe President Trump's economic policies that worked last time
• 16:51
  Speaker 18: will work this time if he doesn't venture off into
• 16:53
  Speaker 18: populism and do things again like two thousand dollars stimulus
• 16:56
  Speaker 18: checks being sent out set of paying down the debt. However,
• 17:00
  Speaker 18: or inflation has not under control. It has it slowed, yes,
• 17:04
  Speaker 18: but it's still layered on top of the Biden inflation
• 17:07
  Speaker 18: that existed over the last four years, and grocery prices
• 17:10
  Speaker 18: are not down. It's embarrassing for people in power to
• 17:14
  Speaker 18: claim that they are People have to buy groceries, know
• 17:16
  Speaker 18: that groceries prices are not down. And gasoline, you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 18: we can't say it's two dollars a gallon. It's closer
• 17:22
  Speaker 18: to three dollars. It's down from where it was in
• 17:23
  Speaker 18: the four dollars during the Obama years and the Biden
• 17:26
  Speaker 18: years and so forth. So it's getting better. In President
• 17:28
  Speaker 18: Trump's energy policies I think will work. His tax policies
• 17:32
  Speaker 18: will work, his cutting regulations will work. But that does
• 17:35
  Speaker 18: take some time. It doesn't all happen in nine months.
• 17:37
  Speaker 18: And we've got an uphill climb based on the horrific
• 17:41
  Speaker 18: Biden economic policies that saddled President Trump with what he inherited.
• 17:45
  Speaker 18: So it's going to take some time. But we need
• 17:47
  Speaker 18: to be honest and acknowledge that there is there is
• 17:49
  Speaker 18: an affordability crisis. We've got to continue to fight for affordable,
• 17:54
  Speaker 18: reliable energy to be plentiful. That's a big issue utilities
• 17:57
  Speaker 18: and gas prices. That's getting back to two dollars a
• 18:00
  Speaker 18: gown like they were during the first Trump administration. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 18: think that's going to happen, So it takes some time.
• 18:05
  Speaker 18: It's getting better. Is it where it needs to be?
• 18:07
  Speaker 19: No?
• 18:07
  Speaker 18: And grocery prices are not down, and my wife knows that.
• 18:11
  Speaker 18: Your wife knows that. You know what, I know that
• 18:13
  Speaker 18: people who go to the store, they know that, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 18: so we've got to keep working on that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: Bob. What's coming up in the Good for America podcast
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: this week?
• 18:21
  Speaker 18: Well, there's so much to talk about with economic issues.
• 18:24
  Speaker 18: Help me, you're going to get into Yeah, there's so
• 18:26
  Speaker 18: much to talk about that as Congress returns, but they're
• 18:29
  Speaker 18: they're in session for a full week next week. Imagine that,
• 18:31
  Speaker 18: and they're taking thanks Giving. We call back that we're
• 18:34
  Speaker 18: going to be talking about the things that Congress is
• 18:37
  Speaker 18: dealing with. We're going to be talking about the spending
• 18:38
  Speaker 18: bills going into the new year and there's going to
• 18:41
  Speaker 18: be another shutdown fight come January, and talking about Republicans
• 18:43
  Speaker 18: not caving on on the Obamacare substance.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: Well, good stuff. It's Good for America dot Com. Bob.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: You have a great morning, and we'll talk to you
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: again next week.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: Joe. This text message comes in from Maureen says, Joe
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: money in Politics. I was just looking at your Virginia results.
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: Marine is listening to us in Colorado Springs and she said,
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: I'm looking at your Virginia political results and it looks
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: like win. Some seers wound up spending close to six
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: million dollars and lost by fifteen points. Is this what
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: you're talking about with the consultant classes? And how do
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: we get money out of politics? I know I sound
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: like a leftist when I say that, but I think
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: there can be a conservative answer to this, can't there?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: Boy? Yeah, there is, Maureene, and I appreciate the text message,
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: and you can share your thoughts as well at four
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: three four eight eight two four two one seven. It's
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: another one of these third rail issues because if you
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: talk about it, you'll immediately get people saying citizen to
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: united or whatever.
• 19:50
  Speaker 20: You know.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: And I had an answer to citizens United, nobody liked, Maureen.
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: I don't know if you've ever heard it. Maybe it
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: was before we had our platform here with the talk
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: media network. I said, you want to make sure companies,
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: corporations can't engage in political advertising, fundraising, that kind of thing.
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: Stop taxing them. Seriously. I mean, if you're going to
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: tax my business, then damn snappy, I'm going to want
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: to have a say. And who's deciding on that taxation?
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: And you can't tell me I don't. And our constitution
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: was kind of written on this premise that the business
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: wasn't going to be where the taxes came from. The
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: citizens would pay our fair share for the support of
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: the things that we needed in our communities. We would
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: send it off to our state capitals, and then you know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: at those state capitals they would pay the federal government
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: our membership dues. The US government is in its establishment
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: if you go through the whole Constitution and it's eye laws.
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: We're very much like the NFL, for a great example.
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: We are we are an association under strict guidelines and
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: concrete membership rules that create this overwhelming organization. So we
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: all agree that there will be an organization that will
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: speak for US aka the NFL, and we'll pick that
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: because or the NCAA, maybe you know, whatever. But we've
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: all kind of joined in and said, Okay, we agree
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: to establish this organization as our one voice on these
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: platforms for these positions. And the original constitution was to that.
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: We all chipped in our cut, if you will, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: so taxation in that level. But your question was about
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: getting money out of politics. That's a bigger question. We'll
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: come back to it after the news.

• 22:13
  Speaker 19: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to

• 28:23
  Speaker 9: Time wait what ch hang on?
• 28:35
  Speaker 24: Now?
• 28:35
  Speaker 20: What was that?
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: So, Maureen asked in the last segment, You know, it
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: seems like we're talking about corruption of the political process consultants,
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: and she pointed out to the fact that Winsome Earl
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: Sears gubernatorial campaigns have spend an excess of five million
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: dollars and loss by fifteen points. And you know, is
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: there a better way to do it? First and foremost, see,
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: you can't. You can't begin until you start with the
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: original corruption, the one hundred and ten year, one hundred
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: and twenty year long corruption of the American process. And
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: I know it's oh Joe, there you go again with it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: The constitution, the league that we created, was not designed
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: to do the things we're asking it to do. I
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: drew last week. I drew an analogy to a nineteen
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: seventy four Dodge duster or Plymouth duster with a slant
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: six two twenty five. You, my best friend Pete owned
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: at least three of these. I know my way around
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: a slant six to twenty five from the mid seventies.
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: And you know, she'll burn oil shield, you know, tick,
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: she'll clunk, she'll do all sorts of things, but she
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: will not stop running. She will also not do a
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: thirteen second quarter mile pass. She might do a thirteen
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: minute quarter mile pass. And you can't make her. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: mean as much nitrous and so on and so forth
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: that you put onto a slant six two twenty five,
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: you've got to go to some great lengths to get
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: that slant six two twenty five to do a twenty
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: second pass in a quarter mile drag race. And the
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: US Constitution is very much like that. We're asking a
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: specific type of engine to be a different type of engine.
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: Just because you have a diesel engine in your Mercedes
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: doesn't mean you can take it out, put it into
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: a railway engine and expect it to pull freight. Yeah. Well, sure,
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: it's a diesel engine. It's a different kind of diesel engine.
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: And so the US Constitution very specifically limited the power
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: of each congressperson to certain things. Unfortunately, it gave them
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: the power to create a budget. And this was why
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: it was important that the states had the final say
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: over the budget because the congress people, This was the concept,
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: was the congress people were going to hear from you
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: and me, I need this in my town. They'd go
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: up back up to the Capitol and they'd ask for
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: money for whatever it was back in the district, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: then the senators would say, hold it, this is all
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: we got. You can't have it. And that's why the
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: process works the way it does. Nowadays, it just looks
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: like it was a reason to make Chuck Schumer popular again.
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: So the first thing you have to do to get
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: money out of politics is to get the power out
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: of politics. And this was born during the technocrat movement
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: of the nineteen hundreds. And I know that's not technically
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: you're like, okay, but that's what we have to fix first.
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: That's why I'm such an ardent supporter of the Convention
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: of States, and I love the idea that Joel had yesterday,
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: which was get the Convention of States tied in with
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: Turning Point USA. We see the smoke that can come
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: from the vapor trail created when Turning Point USA gets
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: on the thing we were talking about it just earlier today,
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: this guy Scott wants to take the very same thing
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: that the Turning Point USA did to Rona Romney and
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: the rest of the Republicans and oust the ones that
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: are getting in the way of really progressing in representing
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: the people. So if you depower these offices, now you've
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: taken the incentive out to win them. So now there's
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: fewer people throwing money at these political office seekers in
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: the hopes that if I give you a lot of money,
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: you'll vote for the stuff I want. You have to
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: do it the old fashioned way, like take them to
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: islands with underage girls, right, Jeff, too soon? Probably, then
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: you don't need to worry about all the money being
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: spent to try to get those seats, to get that majority,
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: to put your party in power, so that they can
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: get the money from the sponsors who want them to
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: do their things. Because both sides lie. The Democrats lie
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: about being able to help you get through your day
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: and the Republicans lie about reducing the size of government.
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: The government is actually really simple process. Protect the citizens' rights. Okay,
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: make sure there's a police department and a military service
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: that will do that. Come up with a court system
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: that will adjudicate the situations when those rights are transgressed,
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: and go the hell home. That was the concept to
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: do that, once you've established that there's police departments to
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: adjudicate when people's rights are violated, and then go home.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: And that takes a lot of the money out, Maureen.
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: But in the world we're in right now, the best
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: I could come up with is number one. Eliminate the
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: two political parties guaranteed ballot access. That's one thing you
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: can do, because then if the political parties have to
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: go and collect all the petitions and I think some
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: of the I think some of the hurdles that a
• 34:54
  Speaker 9: candidate has to go through to get onto a ballot
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: are designed by the political parties to only funnel candidates
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: through the political parties, thus creating a fiefdom that I
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: don't think is constitutional either. So if you if you
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: eliminated the hoops that somebody has to go through and
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: petitions and everything else, pay a filing fee. There are
• 35:23
  Speaker 9: a lot of states where all you have to do
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: is pay a filing fee get on the ballot. That
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: takes a big step towards it. You cannot restrict somebody's
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: ability to talk. If I can show up somewhere, I
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: should be allowed to speak there, you know, unless it's
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: a closed meeting, and then you know, obviously I've got
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: to get my way in. But if I'm in a
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: public space and there's public discussion going on, I'm allowed
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: to be there and talk the idea that the can
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: mandate who gets on the air and what we kind
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: of blew that one up in the nineties. You know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: we have to perform our service to our communities and
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: we have to prove that we're serving our communities when
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: we broadcast, whether it's KPPF or w T O N
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: or you name it, KAHI. I mean, we have to
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: show that we've done these things to the Federal Communications
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: Commission when they reopen. But you can't say, oh, we're
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: going to mandate no money and no because there has
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: to be electricity bills paid. But you know, when we
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: come back from break, I'm going to go back and
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: get Scott Pyo and he details how they're up. They're
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: up charging all of these things that they don't need
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: to and where is that money going and what is
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: that money going to Because the costs of getting yard
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: signs and mailers, there is a cost to it. But
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: the candidates are having to raise way more money than
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: that in order to pay off to pay for And
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: that's where I think we've come off the rails. Is
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: what are you paying for? What do you do for money? Honey?
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: How do you get your kicks? So it's a great question, Marie.
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: I think there's a hard answer and an easy answer.
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: An immediate answer I think is get better ballot access.
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: Eliminate the Republicans and the Democrats guaranteed ballot access, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: beyond that, once we limit what their offices can do,
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: then you'll watch the money. Just like all the illegals
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: that self deported themselves, the money will self restrict itself
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: once we get to a point where those offices can't
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: wield as much power as they used to.

  Speaker 23: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

• 44:01
  Speaker 9: This is happening all over the country because, as John F.
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: Kennedy Junior said, victory has one hundred fathers. Defeat is
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: an orphan, But defeat also has one hundred cousins out
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: there telling you what it did wrong too. But Scott
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: raises a great point. He was talking about why the
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: Republican Party seemed to get in the way of good
• 44:27
  Speaker 9: data coming from the party rather than trafficking you to
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: a consultant who would charge you for it.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Well, they are.
• 44:35
  Speaker 24: They tell their candidates to go use a consultant to
• 44:39
  Speaker 24: exercise the consultant's data. Right, So the RPV has its
• 44:44
  Speaker 24: own data from the RNC, But then they tell every
• 44:47
  Speaker 24: single candidate, if you don't like our data, to go
• 44:49
  Speaker 24: use I three sixty, or go use campaign Sidekick, And
• 44:53
  Speaker 24: then campaign Sidekick does the exact same thing. Or I
• 44:56
  Speaker 24: three sixty is probably the best data out there, but
• 45:00
  Speaker 24: they still all do the same thing. They purchase their
• 45:03
  Speaker 24: data from the state and they don't integrate their data
• 45:06
  Speaker 24: with other purchases that other data providers offer. And so
• 45:11
  Speaker 24: when you have Governor Youngkin and he comes in, he
• 45:14
  Speaker 24: runs a race. He doesn't even use RPV data. He
• 45:17
  Speaker 24: uses another third party company. Right, So there's these several
• 45:22
  Speaker 24: data companies out there that do data really well, and
• 45:25
  Speaker 24: you have to purchase this data instead of use your
• 45:27
  Speaker 24: own data. So when you have a Republican porty that
• 45:30
  Speaker 24: screams that we have great data, frankly, they do not.
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: So what kind of data are we talking about? Scott
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: Pyo is visiting with us. He is the chair of
• 45:40
  Speaker 9: the Louden County GOP and he has made a call
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: very publicly for change at the Republican Party of Virginia
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: level and in the State Central Committee, a call that
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: has been made frequently regarding State Central and their management
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: of the Republican Party. But first I want to find out,
• 46:00
  Speaker 9: you know, what data is missing? I mean I have
• 46:02
  Speaker 9: done door knocking, I've done phone banks, We've we've seen
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: the mailers. Are these all places where there's missing data? What?
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: What is missing in what the Republican parties?
• 46:16
  Speaker 24: So the Republican Party of Virginia provides voter information and
• 46:21
  Speaker 24: frankly tries to model the voter information through the r
• 46:26
  Speaker 24: So the voter information means name, address, potentially a phone number, zero,
• 46:33
  Speaker 24: emails and did you vote in the past five or
• 46:38
  Speaker 24: ten election cycles?
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 46:40
  Speaker 24: And what what party did you vote for in the primaries,
• 46:44
  Speaker 24: and then they try to model after that, and that's it.
• 46:48
  Speaker 24: That's the only data points they have. They can tell
• 46:51
  Speaker 24: if you're white, Black, or Asian or or Hispanic, and
• 46:56
  Speaker 24: that's it. But if you want to dig into real data,
• 46:59
  Speaker 24: I'm a big data guy. I've been in data my
• 47:02
  Speaker 24: entire life.
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: I work for several large companies.
• 47:05
  Speaker 24: I do data myself, dealing with petabytes of time. And
• 47:10
  Speaker 24: you have to physical out there and purchase data that
• 47:13
  Speaker 24: nobody else has. And really what that means is you
• 47:16
  Speaker 24: have to go purchase phone numbers, you have to go
• 47:19
  Speaker 24: purchase emails, you have to go purchase demographic information. So
• 47:23
  Speaker 24: if they're white, Black, Latino, or Asian, you actually have
• 47:27
  Speaker 24: to break out the Asian the Asian data set, right,
• 47:30
  Speaker 24: because there's Indian, there's Arab, there's Pakistani, there's Middle Eastern,
• 47:38
  Speaker 24: and then you have to break out the South Korean
• 47:40
  Speaker 24: North Korean, and then you have to break out the
• 47:42
  Speaker 24: Pacific Pensylan Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean. So when they
• 47:47
  Speaker 24: lump Asian into one category of demographic groups. It does
• 47:51
  Speaker 24: zero for insight because some of these people just escape
• 47:55
  Speaker 24: communism or socialism, right, and then you have to break
• 47:58
  Speaker 24: out the data. You have to break out South American,
• 48:01
  Speaker 24: Central American, Mexican, or any other data sets that you
• 48:05
  Speaker 24: need to break out. And then when you're purchasing this data,
• 48:08
  Speaker 24: you're also purchasing the fact that they own a single
• 48:10
  Speaker 24: family home, they have two kids at the house, their
• 48:14
  Speaker 24: current monthly or yearly income.
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: Is this, and it gives you an insight into what
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: is commerce these days. This is why seventy percent of
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: the Internet traffic goes through Virginia and these data centers
• 48:28
  Speaker 9: that everyone is freaking out about, even in places like California. Oh,
• 48:32
  Speaker 9: we know, we've got to fight the data centers, big oligarcs,
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: the data oligarchs. You hear how all this is valuable
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: marketing tools. But the issue with its use politically is
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: that the political parties have it at cost, and then
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: they upcharge it for the candidates because the candidates have
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: to go out and raise money. So they're like, well, okay,
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: so this data costs ten and sense, but we're going
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: to charge you two bocks for it. And the consultants say, great,
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: and they get a percentage. It's a game. It's it's
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: and it goes back to when consultants were paid off
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: of the advice. So if you bought commercial time in Washington,
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: d C. And you got a percentage of that commercial expenditure,
• 49:24
  Speaker 9: that's how you were paid. So the more ads you ran,
• 49:27
  Speaker 9: the better you got paid. I'd love to see the
• 49:28
  Speaker 9: first guy that thought of that contract. I wanted to
• 49:32
  Speaker 9: throw this story out real quick before the day ends.
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: And of course we'll be here tomorrow for the Saturday
• 49:38
  Speaker 9: morning version of the program for the affiliates that carry
• 49:41
  Speaker 9: us there, because Saturday mornings are a workday too. You've
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: got to get started. The study out of here. In
• 49:50
  Speaker 9: our flagship state of Virginia, Political Study is a legislative
• 49:55
  Speaker 9: audit group has discovered that eleven universities historically through the
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: past century in Virginia have engaged in a manipulation of
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: eminent domain and their associations as a state agency murky.
• 50:12
  Speaker 9: They always want to be independent until they want to
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: use something like eminent domain. But they've been using eminent
• 50:18
  Speaker 9: domain to buy up black communities, to put research centers
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: and that kind of thing on it. Urban Renewal and
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: it's one thing for sure, if you're in an urban area,
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: the universities and the black community or the poor community,
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: I'll say, the and the poor communities tend to be
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: ethnically indiverse. The poor communities and the universities are often
• 50:42
  Speaker 9: in the same place, and usually for the same reason.
• 50:46
  Speaker 9: They weren't built in the middle of town. But over
• 50:49
  Speaker 9: one hundred years town has rolled out and found its
• 50:52
  Speaker 9: way around the university and the black community or the
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: Latino community. So then somebody says, well, this doesn't look
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: so good. Can we put our you know, data research
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: department headquarters there? And they come in with the eminent domain.
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: Give the black property owners pennies for the dollar. Call
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: it a beautification project, a roads project, you know whatever
• 51:17
  Speaker 9: they need to call it to sell it, and they
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: do it. Oh, look at how many jobs this is
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: going to bring. And it's just interesting to see how
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: all these halls of academia and their deep thought and
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: their progressive ways are the ones that are actually uprooting
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: the black communities. After all. Cara rights in from Oregon.
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: If each party's chosen candidates were funded by the government
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: and no other funding allowed, would that work. Here's the
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: problem with that, then the government gets to choose which candidates,
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: and I don't want the government choosing which candidates run
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: for the control of the government, you see, because it
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: immediately corrupts itself under the weight of it. And certainly
• 52:01
  Speaker 9: it's an idea. Camera it has been promoted several times
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: just to have a candidate fund. If you're the authorized
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: candidate by the Democratic Party, then you'll get this much money.
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: But I think that it creates more power for the
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: political party to be the gatekeeper into that fund. And
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: it's the federal government deciding who gets to be the
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: candidates to run the federal government. So I mean it
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: is an idea though. Thank you for all the time
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: you spend with us this morning. Hopefully we've gotten either
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: Friday or started off well or Thursday wrapped up well
